Lapwing
 
Lapwings are very difficult birds to capture in flight as they move so fast. Added to this their black and white plumage can often result in over exposure and loss of detail in the white feathers. For flight photos from the rear to be successful the angle has to be just right. Here the face and tuft are clearly visible and the detail of the feathers across the wing and back make this a very interesting photograph.
